SCAVENGER HUNT: A FITNESS-BASED PARTY

I like to write fun works of fiction and now I'm going to relate fitness and fiction.

You have an exquisite estate and you're known for throwing the best parties in town.
Is your scavenger hunt for the party planner only, or will it be an event for all of the guests?


Please respond to the prompts however you'd like:

How would you plan, decorate, and/or cook if you were throwing your own fitness-related party? Think outside the box.

OR

What would be fun to experience as a guest at this party? What would you bring as a fun surprise?

    How about a make your own plant-based meal - and then give it to someone else and tell them what inspired you to make it! Lay out on a counter 10-12 assorted sauteed veggies, breads, non-meat meats, etc. and invite my guests to have at it!

    Excellent comment DKAVL!!! I love all of that and even have some recipes for my own non-meat meats like vegan crab cakes made from heart of palm :)

    If you're going to have a scavenger hunt, how about each guest must assemble clues to find the prize, but in order to obtain each clue they must complete a variety of fitness activities? As in after you run a mile you receive clue #5, if you complete 10 pullups you get clue #7, etc. A clever clue-writer will have enough overlap of clues that somebody need not complete every single activity to put the clues together (so if you don't like to swim you're not required to), but you should still need to finish several tasks, not just 2 or 3. I would recommend at least a dozen activities to select from, with successful completion allowing you to draw a random clue from a hat. Already got that clue? Sorry, nothing new to learn here, try a different activity (no repeating the same activity, have to try something new each time). People who are highly physically fit can complete more activities quicker to receive more clues, but smart people may be able to puzzle out the meaning of clues.

    I really love hoop fitness, so hula hoops and brochures about the benefit of this simple exercise would be another part of what my guests would find.

    To reiterate the comments from DKAVL and nossmf, our scavenger hunt list is as follows:
    1. plant-based meal buffet
    2. recipe cards for all natural-DIY meat substitutes
    3. find clues in fitness activities that lead to the prize
    4. map of activities that groups can choose from + rules


    Nossmf- you had an especially detailed comment with a lot of layers! Awesome contribution- thank you :) What else does our party need so it doesn't feel too much like the gym? We're still at a fun mansion party! Should we have a photography booth with some dress-up lingerie and props?
